What might persuade a bishop to get into bed? (6)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
carrot
'what might persuade' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'a bishop to get into bed?' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'rr' (abbreviation for Right Reverend).
'to get into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'bed?' becomes 'cot' (cot is a type of bed).
'a'+'rr'='arr'
'arr' placed within 'cot' is 'CARROT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for carrot that I've seen before include "Rewarding vegetable?" , "veg" , "Obstacle in race" , "Tapering vegetable" , "Orange edible root" .)
